Street. The station has been centrally located to better provide
emergency services to the citizens of the City of Sonora. In
addition to emergency service, the fire department also provides
fire prevention, public education, non-emergency public services and
cooperative services with other emergency and non emergency agencies
throughout the County. The City is 3.5 square miles and has a
resident population of 4666. However, as the County Seat and a
center for commerce, the City supports a daily population of
approximately 25,000. This weekday influx dramatically increases the
number of emergency calls for service handled by this department.
Utilizing 3 engines, 1 aerial fire apparatus, 1 light brush unit, 2
command vehicles, and one fire prevention vehicle the fire
department responds to an average of 1,103 emergency calls (911
generated calls) for service each year.
